Heartland affected trailers are equipped with aluminum black ladders manufactured by Christianson Industries that have retractable hinges, each with a welded 'top hat' that can separate from the hinge.
The short version
Heartland Recreational Vehicles, LLC reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected trailers are equipped with aluminum black ladders manufactured by Christianson Industries that have retractable hinges, each with a welded 'top hat' that can separate from the hinge.
If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will install hinge braces over the back of the existing hinges, free of charge.
